MinIO AIStor supports deploying resources onto Windows hosts for local development and evaluation. For the purposes of evaluation or local development, MinIO recommends using a machine released in the last 4 years with at least 8 GB of RAM. You can use any supported version of Windows. For testing or local development using a virtualized environment, including Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), use a machine with a higher number of cores and 16 or 32GB of RAM.
